Mike knows the best people!

Published on Feb, 2025

What a fun day with 8 other travelers and Mike, our Fearless Leader and Driver! I truly want to thank Mia for helping me to make a reservation on a day when this trip was definitely going! The whole day was paced at just the right level. Stops, walks, tastings and meals were all top-notch. I will never forgive Mike for enticing me to climb the 252 steps to the lighthouse - my legs are still killing me today! - BUT it was totally worth the view! Also, the fact that the gentleman who owns The Lake Ferry Hotel and Pub we had dinner at - he must think a lot of Zozo Travel to agree to open the restaurant JUST for our group! A very cordial host and one hell of a cook! We also saw seals up close- basking on the rocks, the pups playing with each other and mom or testing out their new skills and having fun in the water. I couldn't stop taking pictures - so damn cute!

A great day out

Published on Feb, 2025

Our driver/guide, Michael, was excellent. We had a full day and were entertained and looked after throughout. Really enjoyed the small group experience.

The Martinborough Wine...

Published on Feb, 2025

The Martinborough Wine and Wild Coast Tour from Wellington was fantastic! The countryside was beautiful, wine tasting and lunch at Poppie’s Winery was wonderful, hiking up to the stairs to Cape Palliser Lighthouse was awesome and dinner at the historic hotel was wonderful! Our tour guide Phil was terrific, engaging and fun to spend the day with especially for our small group of four. I would highly recommend this tour.

Memorable Tour...Amazing experience with Mother Nature!

Published on Jan, 2025

Great Tour and Guide. A variety of different experiences on this full day tour. A walk in the rainforest, lookouts from the top of the mountains, award winning chocolate and cheese tastings, lunch and wine tasting and my favorite; the visit to the most southern part of the North Island, Cape Pallister Lighthouse. The draggy coastline, agitated sea and schools of seals was a spectacular show Highly Recommend!

Worth the entire day!

Published on Jan, 2025

Phil was great! A local that knew everything about the area. Tour was long but worth it to get to the east coast and for the seals and the lighthouse. Get out of the city of Wellington for 9-10 hrs and see the countryside and east coast.
